Book excerpt: In the New England village of Grandville, Wendell deVries, the 65-year-old projectionist at the local movie theater, meets an attractive divorcee and an unexpected love affair blooms. Franny, Wendell's daughter and the leader of the town's drama group, is confronted by a newcomer from New York City who insists that her politically correct play be produced, sending Franny into a spiral of self-doubt. Lila, Franny's teenage daughter, hears a lecture at her high school that convinces her that she has African blood in her veins, leading her to discover long-lost relatives living nearby. The high school counselor is contacted by a man claiming to be a recruiter from Harvard who convinces him that his daughter is a shoo-in for acceptance if he follows his advice, a false promise that enrages him. Thousands of miles away in a mountain village in Columbia, a young man named Hector begins a journey that will lead him to Grandville where he will alter the lives of everyone he meets.
